Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjoining property, No. 37 Oak Lodge Avenue
What decided it
The proposed side and rear dormers would result in an overly bulky form that would have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene, conflicting with local plan policies requiring extensions to be subservient and complementary additions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
